Safety information
General
Only use the power supply unit
included with the product. Using an
unauthorised power supply will
invalidate your guarantee and may
damage the telephone. The item
number for the power supply unit is
872264.
Radio signals transmitted between
the handset and base may cause
interference to some hearing aids.
Do not dismantle the handset or
base station. This could expose you
to high voltages or other risks.
Contact the helpline for repairs.
Never dispose of batteries in a fire.
There is a serious risk of explosion
and/or the release of highly toxic
chemicals.
Cleaning
Simply clean the handset and base
station with a damp (not wet) cloth,
or an antistatic wipe. Never use
household polish as this will damage
the product. Never use a dry cloth
as this may cause a static shock.
Environmental
Do not expose to direct sunlight.
The product may heat up when the
batteries are being recharged. This is
normal. However, to avoid damage we
recommend that you do not place the
product on antique/veneered wood.
Do not expose your product to fire,
explosive or other hazardous conditions.
There is a slight chance that your
phone could be damaged by an
electrical storm. We recommend that
you unplug the power and telephone
line cord for the duration of the storm.

Setting up
Follow these steps to set up your Freestyle 60 ready for use.
Plan the location
Situate your Freestyle 60 close enough
to the mains power socket and telephone
socket so that the cables will reach.
Make sure it is at least 1 metre away
from other electrical products to avoid
interference.
Do not situate the product in the
bathroom or other humid areas.
Your Freestyle 60 works by sending and
receiving radio signals between the base
unit and the handset.
The strength of the signal depends on
where you site the base unit and how
the aerial is deployed.
The higher the base unit is located,
the better. An upstairs room is ideal.
Your product can be wall mounted, for
more information see page 24.
2Plug the power supply
cord into the back of the
base unit
1Handset aerial
Your Freestyle 60 handset uses a
compact aerial which we recommend
you pull out to obtain the best signal
and reception available.
